Moat scores for companies ranked near BR in Information Technology Services
How BR scores on the Software & SaaS Specialized defenses
Pricing Power
Score 74
· 20% of the moat score
In software, pricing power is visible in gross margin: a vendor that has to discount in order to renew gives it up first.
Recurring Revenue Stickiness
Score 67
· 18% of the moat score
Recurring revenue is the model's central claim, and it is a moat only when customers renew and expand without being re-sold each year.
Innovation Engine
Score 68
· 16% of the moat score
Software is competed away rather than depreciated, so a vendor that stops investing loses its category.
Cash Scalability
Score 82
· 18% of the moat score
The test of a software business is whether growth eventually stops consuming cash.
Capital Efficiency
Score 80
· 16% of the moat score
A software platform employs very little capital, so a genuine franchise should produce high returns on it without leverage.
Balance Sheet Resilience
Score 56
· 12% of the moat score
Software companies fund years of customer acquisition before those customers pay back, which makes access to capital a strategic variable rather than a treasury detail.

How is the moat score calculated?
Each company is scored with an industry-specific template — Software & SaaS Specialized in this case, chosen because the defenses that matter to a bank are not the ones that matter to a software company. Every defense combines several financial signals, and each signal is measured as a percentile against a peer group of 77 companies in Information Technology Services. The defenses are then weighted to produce the overall score out of 100.
Why is Broadridge Financial Solutions, scored with the Software & SaaS Specialized template?
Software costs almost nothing to reproduce, so the entire economic question is whether customers keep paying. Revenue is a subscription rather than a sale, the cost of winning a customer is paid years before that customer becomes profitable, and margins arrive only if renewals hold. The Software & SaaS template scores retention, reinvestment, and the point at which growth turns into cash.
Which competitive defenses are measured for Broadridge Financial Solutions,?
The Software & SaaS Specialized template measures 6 defenses, and BR scores: Pricing Power (74), Recurring Revenue Stickiness (67), Innovation Engine (68), Cash Scalability (82), Capital Efficiency (80), Balance Sheet Resilience (56). Each is scored independently as a percentile against peers, so a company can be strong on one and weak on another — the overall score reflects how those defenses are weighted for this industry.
